Ok. So it seems that order would get screwed up whenever I add the 2 gamepads controllers back in. I had to go set the controller order for each system I use to correct it. I had thought that leaving the systems unset would use the global settings, but....

Now I need to understand how to swap controllers around for specific games in N64 and megadrive, or if I just limit those to only the gamepads, since most need the analog sticks

I understand, I wrote to retroflag on this matter because it turns out that they released something that does not work and does not fulfill the basic function, as soon as I find out something, I will let you know

@radji Ran into this while I was researching my own struggles outputting dual monitors from my Pi 4. I found a way to get it done - I'll spare you the walkthrough if that's okay but it involved booting the desktop environment first with xrandr installed and the displays configured there - then rigging the thing to autostart emulation station from there on top of that environment. Long story short, I took a huge performance hit, even the gen. 4 consoles started dropping frames and chopping audio. I was super proud to get it working after many failures and posts online saying it couldn't be done, but unfortunately it just wasn't worth it in the end. Most people suggest an HDMI splitter and now that I can see how rough it can be on the system to make this work - just don't do it is my advice. Maybe it's a moot point for you by now, but FYI for anyone else down the road. Go with the splitter.

@NoobAtEverything Why are you asking this in the RetroPie forum ? This is not a Android/mobile gaming community and you'd have better luck asking in a dedicated forum for Android.

@brewskii said in Yet another controller issue...:

Quick question though, is one game pad "dominant"?

Sort of - Player1 is the only one that's allowed to use the RetroArch menu and the hotkeys (including the Start + Select to exit the game).

@mitu said in SNES Start button not working, USB controller:

@kamban Can you try to remap one of your controller from RetroArch - does Select + X bring up the RetroArch Gui ?

Yes, GUI shows up. I checked the controls and see
Auto: 8 (N/A), (Key:rs... Select

as well as the other mapped keys. Also tried another SNES rom, same here. I really have no idea why the select is not working...

Thank you! Worked for me

@mvp Please give more details about the problem - see the questions template in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
What game/emulator/controller are you using ?

@string7th you can put emulation station into kiosk mode and set all the menu options as "hidden" so the retro pie menu doesn't show up. To bring back full menus, you use the konami code. As far as retroarch, open the configs from your network and go to
configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig and open the controller you want to edit. you can just remove the input_enable_hotkey_btn line and that pretty much disables hotkeys for that that controller. If you want to disable all hotkeys except exit, go through the file and remove all the features you dont want like save state and menu toggle, ect.

@nwgalloway nope. Not until an on-screen keyboard is integrated

This is the only solution in the interim.

Thank you. Very interesting. Let me consolidate and see which best method to take.

@rickbw said in 2 Controller Configuration:

Once I get to the "OK", I try hitting enter on my keyboard, but I cannot seem to get past the "OK"

you should press the button you setted as "A" when you get the OK.

And usually, same model controllers have the same config file. So, there1s no need to config them individually.
